The Insurance Commissioner may make regulations governing the sale or offer of sale of life insurance products, including annuities, when such sale or offer involves the replacement of existing policies or contracts or the borrowing on or lapsing of such existing policies or contracts. Such regulations may prescribe (1) the form in which such offer or proposal should be made; (2) the form of notice to the insurance companies involved; (3) the questions to be contained in application forms for life insurance products pertaining to existing insurance; and (4) the form of notice to the purchaser. The commissioner may suspend or revoke the license of any insurance producer violating any such regulation.
